Davis spent a larger portion of a more than 100-minute news conference explaining why he fined former coach Tom Cable $120,000 in the final year of his contract. Davis says he withheld the money from Cables last six checks because of the strain on the organization from lawsuits involving Cable assaulting a former assistant coach and a former girlfriend.

Cant get the story, Davis said. You know, its like Gitmo. Trying to find out, did they waterboard those guys or not? No, really. Its hard to believe. How many guys went in? Four guys went into the room with a guy, the guys comes out with a broken jaw and no one saw it.

No decent coach will work with the Raiders again after the treatment of Gruden and as long as Al Davis is alive. And I’m a local girl whose boyfriend and son love the Raiders. But every Raider fan I know loathes Al Davis.

Hell, he almost looks like the character in the sequel to Silence of the Lambs. Instead of giving a “State of the Raider’s”, Davis should just give up the Raiders - so someone who actually cares about having a winning team.
